M usic is what keeps us alive and inspired. I believe most of us love the sound of music and just like me, it keeps me happy and feeling alive. Today most kids and young adults are more fascinated with the new hip hop artists and the new genre songs.

And when you think about hip hop, what artist comes to your mind? Jay-Z, Kanye West, IceBloc? What, never heard about IceBloc? Common' they are the industry's newest dynamic duo, Tag Team Champs in a weight class all their own…. I.C.E BLOC!

The name I.C.E Bloc has two obvious parts. The acronym I.C.E comes from their parent company/label Infinite Cash Entertainment. The word BLOC (block) represents where they came from...the hood, the block, the streets. IceBloc is made up of two guys, whose names are John Keys and Vernon Norfleet. They also go by the names J DOT and Vito, respectively.

They are one of the top artists who came up with a newly released album called Krankmuzik. Their new album sounds great and has songs like Put it in the Air, Drop Roll, RideSlow, Bout Dat Guap and my favorite is In My Trunk ReMastered because of the beat . These songs can be previewed or listened from IceBloc.com or go to their MySpace page to listen for free at myspace.com/iceblocmusic.

I have to admit, time had changed and I am finding myself with diversified tastes in music. I have started to listen to different music on the radio. One station I like has started to play a lot of hip hop music. And I am starting to like some of the new music.

So if hip hop music is something you like or if you are searching for a type of music that is new and up beat, then I recommend taking the time to review their website and listen to some of their songs available on IceBloc’s MySpace page where you can review and download for free. For all the latest on I.C.E BLOC visit www.iceblocmusic.com

I n the modern era where credit cards are so convenient, loans are so common and debt is socially acceptable, it’s extremely easy to get into debt.

Having a debt management plan can be a good debt solution, I could say personally because I have witnessed a good friend of mine who had gotten too much debt that almost destroyed her credit. Almost a year ago, her business went bad and she incurred huge debt in some form as I could just imagine.

She and her husband had been fighting literally to find a way to handle their financial responsibilities in a way that was fair to everyone. They found themselves in difficult times and ended up far into debt both with credit card companies and also to family and close personal friends who tried to help us out.

They tried to negotiate with the credit card companies and went to consumer credit counseling but to no avail. In the mean time, their credit card debt had little to no movement on the balances even though they were making payments every month.

Finally, after some personal assessment they stood up on both feet and did a proper online search for debt reduction companies who charge lesser fees at the same time will be able to give them some insights on how to Reduce Debt. By pure chance, she found the ReduceDebt.net that offers a debt reduction solution that will cut the total you owe, freeze the interest you pay and remove any threat to the home you own.

For them, it was such a great feeling to know that there is an end to this madness and to know resorting to bankruptcy does not have to be looked at. However, my friend told me that they are now able to operate within a budget that has a future to it, instead of just trying to hold off the biggest bully, so to speak.

I have 2 other friends who are using this kind of services and they all feel the same way. They all know that there is a light at the end of this financial tunnel.
